August 7, 20214 yr As the title suggests, my usb stick, whose I don't have a backup of, died while unraid was live and online (and still is). When clicking the registration (I have a plus license) all I see is: Error accessing your physical USB Flash boot device There is a physical problem accessing your USB Flash boot device. Please Contact Support. Flash GUID: Error code: ENOFLASH3 What can I do to ensure I don't incur in any data loss? I'm a noob, so a step to step, fool-proof guide will be very appreciated.
August 7, 20214 yr Author apps, vm and docker tabs are missing or not working. under the page it says Warning: parse_ini_file(/boot/config/docker.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 50 Warning: array_replace_recursive(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, bool given in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 50 Warning: parse_ini_file(/boot/config/domain.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/include/libvirt_helpers.php on line 478 Nevertheless, my plex docker keeps working.
August 7, 20214 yr Community Expert You files should always be fine even if the USB drive fails. The Unraid GUI tends to start mid-behaving if your USB drive fails OR if it drops offline - not sure in your case which off these two scenarios applies. if you reboot your system then you will find either that the USB stick has failed or it will need recreating. In both cases the data on the drives should be fine. Have you made a backup of your USB drive? It is advised to always do this any time you make a significant configuration change, and this can be done manually via the GUI by clicking on the flash drive on the Main tab (as well as various other automated ways). If so then recreating the USB drive is very easy. Even if you do not then there is a recovery technique covered in the Troubleshooting section of the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI.
August 7, 20214 yr Author I didn't create a backup of the flash drive. As I said, I can't create a backup of the flash drive as of now since it is unaccessible/unreadable. The unability ti create a backup led me to create this thread, since apparently I need to do stuff not covered by the documentation.

What do you need to do that isn't covered here: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Troubleshooting#Boot_Failures and here: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Troubleshooting#Lost_boot_drive_and_do_not_know_which_are_the_parity_drives
August 7, 20214 yr Author Thank you I'll look into this! Though, there's the problem of the license too.
